Introverted Socialism
For someone as introverted as I am by nature, it's cool to be able to use social tools to really connect with people in ways I know I wouldn't have done using the more conventional methods. I guess that was on my mind when I wrote my regular online columns for Inc.com and BlackEnteprise.com:
Inc.com - Social Media For Business Sake
BlackEnterprise.com - Four Social Acts Business People Need to Commit
I've "met" some incredible people over the past few years because of these tools, and my life (personal as well as professional) has been truly enriched for it. Sometimes it's good to take a step back and see just how much of an impact this stuff really does have on us. But then again, this all begins and ends with people - the technology just gives us the ability to really understand each other if we choose to do so.
OK, I just got through watching 2001: A Space Odyssey, which always puts me in a weird mood...
